products description :
Background: Cystatin-SN, also known as Cystain-SA-I, Cystatin-1, Salivary cystatin-SA-1 and CST1, is a secreted protein which belongs to the cystatin family. The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. Cystatin-SN / CST1 is expressed in submandibular and sublingual saliva but not in parotid saliva (at protein level). Cystatin-SN / CST1 is also expressed in saliva, tears, urine and seminal fluid. Human saliva appears to contain several cysteine proteinase inhibitors that are immunologically related to cystatin S but that differ in their specificity due to amino acid sequence differences. Human salivary cystatins include Cystatin-S, Cystatin-S1, Cystatin-S2, Cystatin- SA, Cystatin-SN, Cystatin-C and Cystatin-D. Cystatin-SN is a much better inhibitor of papain and dipeptidyl peptidase I than is cystatin-S, although both inhibit ficin equally well. Description: A DNA sequence encoding the human CST1 (P01037-1) (Met 1-Ser 141) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

ncbi summary :
The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins and the kininogens. The type 2 cystatin proteins are a class of cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in a variety of human fluids and secretions, where they appear to provide protective functions. The cystatin locus on chromosome 20 contains the majority of the type 2 cystatin genes and pseudogenes. This gene is located in the cystatin locus and encodes a cysteine proteinase inhibitor found in saliva, tears, urine, and seminal fluid. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
CST1: Human saliva appears to contain several cysteine proteinase inhibitors that are immunologically related to cystatin S but that differ in their specificity due to amino acid sequence differences. Cystatin SN, with a pI of 7.5, is a much better inhibitor of papain and dipeptidyl peptidase I than is cystatin S, although both inhibit ficin equally well. Belongs to the cystatin family.
